But why would anybody want 18s over these brakes? They need the larger wheels for cooling purposes. Thsi isn't an SN95, the wheels are purposefully taller on the S197/S550.

The big question now is if, like so much Mustang engineering before, the S550 will start to noticeably age around 10k miles as all prior Mustangs do. Aged bushings, squeaky body, tired aircon, worn (fake) leather, worn transmission, etc. This is the difference between a cheap car and a well...

Here's the complete story, in two parts, all verified by the actual Ford insiders who worked on the IRS for SN95 and S197 at that time. http://www.drivingenthusiast.net/sec-blog/?p=12501 http://www.drivingenthusiast.net/sec-blog/?p=11329 As they say, all's well that ends well, and we...

What a terrible article.... it's the thinnest rehash of a very small part of the total story. There wasn't any research, no interviews, about 1/100th of the total story. Apparently enough to fit on a sidebar, but nothing new.

Simple: an 800 pound difference, and no traction from it's skinny tires. It's called posing.

The Alpha chassis was designed for a V-8. This isn't even a question, it's a known fact. The chassis comes in variable wheelbase and track, but the full range of engines fits them all. And it's already been confirmed by the Union that the Camaro is moving to the new Chassis, moving to the new...

Corvette? Hardly. M3/4? Doubtful unless it's the Trinity since the M3/4 makes over 475 HP and has a phenomenal suspension, a much lower weight, and practically 50/50 weight balance. Whatever it's called, it's a Mustang first second and last.

If we don't get an announcement for the LA show, then it will be at Detroit.

No, this car is all but done, and it's going thru emissions testing right now. There are two distinct engines in these special models. It remains to be seen what they are.

All this stuff has a loyal following - for a year. Or else their car never leaves the garage. But in the real world, people try this once and never again.

Yes, the real 2016 will be extremely formidable, with 450 HP and 450 torque in the standard V-8 and with a better chassis.

That is absolutely not a 2016 Camaro. It's a fiberglass front cap and side fenders on the current car. Movie cars have useless add-on crap like this all the time, such as Eleanor. It's for little boys who like kids toys, and bowties.

Exactly, I have one on my G and I wish I didn't. It's got a line half way up the hood. And there is no way to get the thing off after it's been on - or at least with any expectation that the paint will ever be normal again. And if you ever get any damage, it shows. 3M has a nice piece of...

Sure it can be done. 6 to 8 thousand dollars for a single turbo, intercooler, tuning - or much more if it's done right with new internals and lots more for twin turbos. Of course the stock V-6 internals won't last long, the majority of conversions like this get crapped out. The engineering...

Seeing it in person at the press preview, climbing under it. It does nothing whatsoever. The aerodynamics under the bumper area are the same mess they are in the current car. There is no attempt to clean up the airflow coming out of the underside of the car at all. "Fins" are on the bumper...

No, I'm talking about the naturally aspirated V-6 versus the 2.3 EB. Of course turbocharging the V-6 will yield more power as the displacement is much larger. But that's not what we're talking about.

Fortunately the cars are entirely unrelated.

The rental car market is good, because that's the fastest way to test drive the basic Mustang while deciding whether to order one or not. I do a lot of travel, and I'll find one sooner or later and purposefully put several hundred miles on it. Yes, the engine won't be representative, but the...

Sure, the V-6 could have been tuned to get the same highway mileage. And it could have been given a 2 to 1 axle ratio to do even better. But who wants to drive it then? The purpose of the car is driving, the 2.3EB will be a better driver because of the slightly higher HP, much higher torque, and...

It's a diffuser that doesn't diffuse anything. It has no aero value whatsoever. With or without it, the rear bumper is a parachute as designed.
